Another stacked Saturday of college football action is upon us, and I'm starting our CFB parlay by backing Iowa State to beat Cincinnati. The Bearcats have lost all three conference road games, and things are unlikely to change when they face a Cyclones team led by running back Aiden Flora. Flora already has 1,100 rushing yards this season, tallying over 180 yards on the ground on four different occasions. He should punish a Cincinnati defense that ranks 98th in the nation against the run.
Next in our college football parlay, I'm taking Indiana to beat USC. The Trojans may be coming off a bye after their biggest win of the season, but the Hoosiers are also off a bye, and should have the measure of this USC team that has struggled when traveling east. In 2024 and 2025, the Trojans went 0-6 ATS in Big Ten games in the central and eastern time zones, and they're currently 0-2 this season. Indiana dipped in the College Football Playoffs this week, so the Hoosiers should be highly motivated to dominate and beat USC.
I'm going with Kentucky to beat Florida as the next leg of our CFB parlay. Both teams are coming off disappointing losses, but the Wildcats return home this week and should be able to get back on track. Kentucky boasts a deep offense and knows it needs to make a statement to boost its hopes of reaching the College Football Playoff. They've scored 31+ points in six of their nine games this season, and should outscore a Gators team that has struggled to finish games against quality SEC opponents this year.
Rounding off our Saturday college football parlay, I'm taking Oklahoma State to beat Texas Tech. The Red Raiders currently sit at #12 nationally, but this is its first true road test this year and I'm not sure I see them keeping up with this potent Oklahoma State offense. The Cowboys rank in the top 15 in EPA/play and should carve through this Texas Tech D that ranks 136th out of 138 FBS programs against the pass. OSU QB Drew Mestemaker has thrown 29 TD passes and averages 329 passing yards per game, and should decimate the Red Raiders. With a raucous crowd behind them, Oklahoma State should roll to victory.
